Well, here's my first fanfiction in a long time. I promise to complete this one. This is inspired by a wonderful fanart from deviantart.

Glinda waited until the crowd had left and it was safe for her to come out of hiding. Slowly, she crept out from under the blankets she had quickly thrown on top of her to hide herself from the mob. Chistery pulled back the curtain Elphaba had concealed the scene with. Glinda gasped at the sight that was now revealed and tears welled up in her sparkling blue eyes. Chistery's heart broke when he saw the light leave Glinda's eyes as she looked upon the remains of her friend.
The good witch knelt down and picked up the hat, clutching it to her heart as if she squeezed it hard enough her friend would return. She cried harder, knowing that nothing she could do could bring her friend back. Her sobs grew harder, and she struggled to catch her breath.
Chistery noticed a glimmer on the ground and recognized the green elixir bottle his mistress had previously kept tucked in her pocket, along with the pink hair flower Glinda had given her so long ago at Shiz. The flower laid close by, the only symbol of happiness left in the room. The winged Monkey took the items in his hands and offered them to the girl in the glittery ballgown. Glinda laid the hat down and took the bottle and flower from him. She couldn't believe her friend had kept the flower after all these years. She remembered the night she had given it to Elphaba, it was the same night she told the truth about the bottle and what it meant to her. That night was also the night they became friends.
While she stared at the bottle, something clicked together in her mind. She had seen another of the same kind only once before, and not long ago at that. She decided to speak with the Wizard at once, for it was he who had offered her a drink from the like bottle, and who had sent the farm girl to kill Glinda's precious, innocent friend.
She handed the flower and hat to Chistery, and picked up the Grimmerie and the elixir bottle. Slowly she began to stand up once more. She lifted her head, turned, and began walking out of the room in silence. Then she stopped.
She had seen something; something on the floor where the hat and bottle had lain. She whirled around and studied the floor she had just cried on. She spotted something slightly raised from the rest of the floor. It looked like-. No. No, it couldn't be. She shook her head and turned and once again began walking out of the room, but curiosity stopped her. 'But it might be', she thought to herself. She ran back to the protrusion on the floor and found a small knob sticking up from it: a door knob. More specifically, a trap door knob.
With one shaking hand she gripped the wet, rusted knob and pulled. It lifted easily after a harder tug and she opened it the whole way with anticipation and without hesitation. She left the door drop open when her mind registered the sight beneath her, and she let out a cry of disbelief.
"Elphaba?!"
So here's the first chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. I promise to update it soon. Please review!
